Energy and water consumption
–
Water consumption and energy
usage are determined by the size of
the load.
–
Use the
Automatic
and
Quick wash
programmes for small loads.
–
If smaller loads are washed using the
Cottons Hygiene
and the
Cottons
Universal
programmes, the automat
-
ic load recognition system will
reduce the amount of water, time and
energy used. This may mean that the
time left shown in the display is
adjusted during the course of the
wash programme.
– Instead of using the
Cottons
Hygiene 95°C
programme, use
Cottons Universal 60°C
and select
the
Intensive
EXTRA. This will give an
energy saving of between 35% and
45%. The programme duration will
be longer. This combination is
sufficient for most levels of soiling.
For stubborn or old stains, use the
Soak
EXTRA.
Detergent
–
Do not exceed the amount of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
–
Reduce the amount of detergent for
smaller loads. Use the
Load/
Detergent
button.
Choosing the correct Extra options
(Soak, Pre-wash, Intensive)
Select:
A wash programme without any
EXTRAS for light to normal soiling
where there are no obvious marks.
A wash programme with the
Intensive
EXTRA for normal to heavily
soiled laundry with visible staining.
– Use the
Soak
EXTRA instead of
Pre-
wash
. If Soak is followed immediately
by a main wash the same suds are
used.
When drying with a tumble dryer
–
Selecting the highest possible spin
speed for the wash programme will
save energy when drying in a tumble
dryer afterwards.
